Rivenwood Apartments

Location: Salem, OR

Rivenwood is a testament to the enduring pursuit of sustainable urban living in the Willamette Valley. The name "Rivenwood" is derived from the traditional woodworking technique of "riving," which involves carefully splitting wood along its grain to produce a stronger and more stable material. This 5-story, 157-unit apartment complex exemplifies how thoughtful architecture can revitalize the urban landscape through mixed-use planning, promote a more equitable future, and pay homage to the city's lumber industry heritage.
